Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jungâs thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the first time, significantly adding to our understanding of Jungâs work.
Jungâs Collected Works, seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the "sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity."
The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jungâsuch as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fateâallowing readers to assess astrologyâs place within the larger corpus of Jungâs work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time.
The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psychotherapists and academics and students of depth psychology, Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal.
